Meeting notes:

• Received updates from several SIGs - Travel, Workflows, Overlays.
• Shared that we have a new common calendar for OAI-related meetings. The information can be found at this repo's README.
• We also have a new community repo.
• Merged a couple of PRs from @namdeirf.
• Discussed and decided to close Integer enum with named items #681 (explanation in issue).
• Discussed Support for multiple $refs inside a single object #417: the ticket seems to refer only to multiple references under the paths property. In past meetings, we've already decided to change the behavior of $ref under paths, but making it a single reference or defined paths, but not both. The idea of having multiple $refs is to enable splitting a large document into multiple ones. It's clear that supporting multiple references is a challenge due to potential conflicts (and this is somewhat different than schema definitions). There seems to be a general consensus that this can be solved by internal solutions and preprocessing (so no change in spec is needed). That said, we opened it up to a broader discussion about API definition file sizes and the complexity of navigating such files (also noted: navigating through referenced files is not simple). No resolution was made.
